Attendance Policy Regarding Absences Due to Athletics

Students who are involved in any of the College’s athletic teams are required to check with their professors during the Add/Drop Period at the beginning of each semester to confirm arrangements to make up the work for any classes that will be missed due to an athletic commitment. Faculty are not required to excuse students for athletic team events, but are encouraged to work with student athletes to help them make up the work when at all possible. Faculty who determine that a student cannot miss class and make up the work should attempt to inform the student during the Add/Drop period so the student may drop the course and add another. If the student does not meet with the professor during Add/Drop, the professor has no obligation to work with the student to make up work that is missed.
